With Fetch 4.0.1, I used to be able to access the PWP web page of a client who uses AT&T Worldnet. In order to do this I had to connected to his site server via dialup after configuring my computer as though I was the client.

AT&T Worldnet now allows SSL access from any computer/location. So this is one FTP server that would require SSL. To proceed with the clients requested site changes I have installed another FTP client which does support SSL/TLS.

I would be interested in Fetch again when it does support SSL/TLS.

Yes, that's still on the list. But we don't have an expected completion date to announce.

Is there a particular SSL FTP server or service provider that you'd want to connect to?

Thanks for the feedback, and we're sorry you can't use Fetch at this time. We are considering adding SSL support for future versions.

I could be interested in using Fetch since the upgrade costs from 4.0.1(registered) to 5.0.x would be less than the cost to register the other product which does currently support SSL. Is there any possibility that you are close to adding this feature? I may be interested in beta testing, if appropriate. I would need to know soon, as the other product has a registration deadline. I will update my profile to provide contact info.

Hi Bill,

As a followup to your question, UC Berkeley has developed a package called "Connect to FTPS" that allows Macintosh users to use Fetch to transfer files to and from secure (FTPS, aka FTP over SSL/TLS) servers (the Berkeley mainframe, like yours, requires SSL FTP connections).

They make it available to the general public, and it can be configured to work with servers other than Berkeley. While this isn't an officially supported Fetch product, you may find that it does what you need. You can download it, and find instructions on using it, from here:
